" I’d always heard the line as a telegram from a banana republic in crisis, and that the whole line was, “Send lawyers, guns and money; all Hell has broken loose.”As Rick so memorably put it in "Casablanca,"
"You were misinformed."
It's
"Send lawyers, guns, and money, the shit has hit the fan."
Do try to get it right.

See post #8. Your criticism was answered before it was made. Do try to read the thread before you post on it.

While we're nit-picking for the sake of accuracy, you misquote Rick's line from
Casablanca:
Captain Renault: What in heaven's name brought you to Casablanca?
Rick: My health. I came to Casablanca for the waters.
Captain Renault: The waters? What waters? We're in the desert.
Rick: I was misinformed.
